I really like the feel of this book right now. Todd McFarlane and Brian Holguin are really doing an incredible job building up this story. And don't even get me started on Whilce Portacio's art. It's fantastic. And perfect for this series. Right now, the Clown is trying to recruit an army. He seems a lot more coherent, and stable now . . as compared to before. And he has a plan. He's discover the place in the alley where Spawn killed himself, and knowing that there's now a hole in Heaven and Hell's overall plan . . he wants to fill the gap before someone else does. He feels that this is their perfect opportunity to get out from under Hell's thumb, and . .with a little luck, they may even be able to get a sneak attack on both sides. Yes it's ambitious, but . . at least he has a vision. And with this renewed purpose . . he really is an all new kind of nasty. But, what he doesn't know is that there actually is someone trying to fill the 'void' . . Jim Downing. He seems to have acquired Spawn's abilities, but . . he doesn't know what to do with them yet. Actually he's pretty freaked out by it all. And it's still undecided as to which side he'll be on. Although so far he seems to want to do 'good' things. But, we know how this power corrupts, so . . we'll see. Anyways, as the Clown is trying to put together his plan . . Jim seems to becoming more adept with the change and the power. And at the end of the issue, we see a couple of gone, but not forgotten faces . . . Sam & Twitch. It'll be great seeing them back in this book again. So far I like the path that Todd seems to be steering this book in. It works, and it seems like a natural progression of events. They're also doing a great job of building the story more and more as the issue numbers keep advancing. I think it's all unfolding at a pretty good pace. It's nice to be excited about this book again. Thanks!
